So is it going to be in English or Japonese? Oh I hope English. I am excited... we've just finished Borrowers Afloat and will start Borrowers Aloft one of these days soon. It has been an ongoing series for all my kids. We've enjoyed them, I'd love to see the movie...

When I was a girl I would keep things on my dresser that I thought would come in handy for the Borrowers jic they were about.

We've a book before movie rule here so I'm glad the boys have read it. Ponya we have in Russian dubbed over Japanese. The boys have no problem with that (I did)) but they also will watch Studio Ghibli in straight Japanese.

How exciting! I remember being so exasperated by my two oldest when they were young - they were constantly imitating the Borrowers everywhere in the house. There would be thread everywhere, miniature traps on the bookshelves and on and on. They were captivated by these stories - what child wouldn't be?
